Besan Ka Halwa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sunday is almost going to get over and it’s time to welcome the new week. So why not end the weekend with a sweet note? I made this besan ka halwa<\/em> for dessert and it was loved by all in the family. Halwas<\/em> can be made with a variety of ingredients. Besan<\/em> is one of the most common ingredient to make halwa<\/em>, apart from suji<\/em> and atta<\/em>. To make this halwa<\/em>, besan<\/em> is fried with ghee<\/em> on slow heat. The aroma that fills in the entire house is incredible. It is also a good alternative for diabetic patients as besan<\/em> is good for them. Just replace the sugar with the artificial sweetener and you are good to go! So here is the recipe.<\/p>\n

  • Besan<\/em> – 1\\2 cup<\/li>\n
  • Sugar – 1\\2 cup<\/li>\n
  • Water – 2 cups<\/li>\n
  • Almonds and pistachios to garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How to make Besan Ka Halwa<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Add ghee<\/em> in a heavy bottom pan and add besan<\/em> to it.<\/li>\n

      Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n

      • You can increase or decrease the amount of sugar as per your liking.<\/li>\n
      • Do not overcook the halwa<\/em>, otherwise it will be very dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
